    God hates amputees...science cures.

    If I may, aside from using humor in a gentle way, perhaps sirat's point may have to do with the idea that, hand or not, miserable and short or not, all life (from his point of view) is a gift of God that we should enjoy and appreciate. Which I agree with, other than the God part. However, I...

    God hates amputees...science cures.

    That makes the word "God" an awfully broad concept, so broad as not to be very useful.

    why would anybody want to be catholic?

    btw, sum, when priests bugger little boys, in your view, is that a good example of Christian morality?

    Christians: Why aren't you Muslim?

    Christians: Why aren't you Muslim?

    I don't think I said anything about anybody inheriting anything.

It's quite simply, a fact. Do you honestly...

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    I just want to take a moment to gloat over what a nice, polite, interesting, smart discussion we're having here.

    What annoys me about this "debate"

    I agree with you, but I do feel compassion for creationists. First, they've been lied to by all the people they most trust. Second, they believe their eternal salvation depends on denying scientific knowledge. That's going to produce some pretty strange views.

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    I'm going to question whether free will = freedom from the chains of cause and effect. If that is what it means, then I deny it exists. How can we ever get away from cause and effect? So I was reading about Watson, the computer. Watson plays Jeopardy against human opponents. Say the answer to...

    Creationists, please provide evidence

    Well, if archeology ever comes across evidence that the Jews were slaves in Egypt, I'll change my position. If archeology finds evidence that they didn't, will you change yours? [btw, As a Jew, I was gobstopped to learn this. Shook my whole world.]

    Christians: Why aren't you Muslim?

    Yeah, Christianity is kind of weird. It makes sense to them though.
